Ugh, I had a plan to wake up at 5 in the morning to watch it live EXCEPT MY ALARM CLOCK DIDN'T WAKE ME UP!!!! So I woke up when I heard my sister asked my mom why she didn't wake us up at 7.
Dammit. I guess I'll have to wait for the rerun later today. = ='' |

Favourite part(s) of the entire ceremony?
For me, it's got to be the printing part! It was pretty flipping incredible... |

wow, great job nbc for delaying coverage and then (at least for colorado people) having major blackout problems.
anyhoo, caught almost all of it-AH-MAZING! the guys with the drums were unbelievable. some of the countries had horrible outfits (i think it was hungary who had the women in those ridiculous flowered outfits), but some looked quite classy =) |

You know Kobe Bryant had the loudest ovation. That's amazing. He got more cheers than the Chinese President, the Russian, and George Bush. The moment was so odd that even U.S. journalists were looking at each other in puzzlement.
Oh, and I was watching the Girls Gymnastic training earlier, and the girls were hot! I have white fever.  And oh, I'm watching badminton too since it's my favorite sport. And this Japanese chick literally broke this Iceland chick so she had to forfeit haha. Then I watched this Indonesian chick beat this German chick. It was a hella good match. Went down to the very last point. |
